Health - What Your Doctor Isn't Telling You About Hypertension

What Your Doctor Isn't Telling You About Hypertension





Hi John

It's a common phenomenon that when a large number of people share the same problem, whether physical, mental, social, financial, etc., then it's seen as almost "normal."

And so, when a person has that problem, that person most usually just resigns him or herself to it, accepts the "label" it gives them, and does what everyone else is doing.

High blood pressure is one of those problems.

A person in a white coat tells them they have it, or will have it, so that person does absolutely nothing to change it. They simply take take their medicine.

And hope.

Big Pharma loves this, because it means billions of dollars each and every year in drugs most people don't need.

At all.

And for those whose blood pressure readings are only a little high?

They get assigned a diagnosis too -- They call it "PREhypertension" so that people can start taking their very expensive products before they even get it.

Here's something I bet you didn't know:

9 out of the 11 co-authors of the "prehypertension" blood pressure ranges received speaker's payments from, had research funded from, consulted for, or owned stocks in, a LONG list of drug companies.

You scratch my back, I'll scratch yours.

And unwitting drug takers are paying billions for this sleight of hand magic.

Well, here's the real scoop. High blood pressure is not normal! Not at any age.

And it CAN be kept low very easily without drugs.

Societies all over the world are proof that you can get older, even into your eighties and nineties and have normal blood pressure readings.

Thankfully, more and more forward-thinking doctors are looking at the entire picture and not just a pressure reading before they consider someone a risk for heart disease or stroke (and medicate them).

These doctors look at things like whether a person smokes, their diet and if they exercise.

A great source of information on reducing blood pressure quickly without drugs is well known researcher, Frank Mangano. I recommend to everyone who doesn't exercise much, whose diet consists of stuff from boxes, bags and cans or people who are 15 pounds or more overweight to read the book "The Blood Pressure Miracle." For the next few days, you can get a 21 day free read on it. Check it out here.

But there's another little-known cause of hypertension that's even more obscure... and you can't afford NOT to know about it.

Because chances are good it's going on inside of you this very second...

This little known cause of hypertension is inflammation.

Read on.

Inflammation, cholesterol and hypertension

Inflammation plays a HUGE role in the development of hypertension.

Here's how it happens:

Your arteries can sustain damage from things such as an injury, an infection or even from harmful bacteria such as Streptococcus mutans.

When this happens, your immune system senses something is wrong with the artery and sends droves of white blood cells to the area.

As part of their healing efforts, the white blood cells create inflammation, and these inflamed areas pull cholesterol from your blood...sort of like using glue to repair a cracked plate.

However, if this cycle continues too long, the cholesterol begins to accumulate in the inflamed area. The blood vessel begins to narrow and eventually it can completely close.

When it narrows, your heart has a heck of a time pushing the blood through your blood vessels. That makes your blood pressure go up, up, UP.

And when the blood vessel becomes blocked?

A heart attack occurs.

Maybe a stroke.

But here's some GOOD news on this grim topic.

Researchers have found that probiotics can help reduce your risk of high blood pressure (and cardiovascular disease) from inflammation.

Here's how they do this:

Probiotics reduce inflammation

Probiotics support the development of regulatory T cells in your immune system. These T cells help reduce overzealous immune responses throughout your body.

What that means is fewer white blood cells are sent to a damaged artery, and therefore less inflammation and less accumulation of cholesterol occurs in the area.

Probiotics reduce cholesterol in 2 ways:

1- Probiotics create acids that counter cholesterol production

As probiotic bacteria digest fiber in your intestines, they produce acids. This decreases production of cholesterol by the liver.

Less cholesterol produced by the liver = less to accumulate in your blood vessels and a reduction of blood pressure.

2- Probiotics reduce cholesterol in your blood

Substances called bile acids help your body digest fats. Your liver manufactures these bile acids from cholesterol.

Usually your liver recycles bile acids and uses them over and over. But probiotics break those acids down, so your liver has to make more, which means it uses up more cholesterol in the process.

More cholesterol used up by the liver to make bile acids means less cholesterol in your bloodstream, which means thinner blood, which means your heart doesn't isn't working very hard to pump your cleaner, thinner, healthier more oxygenated blood.

And that's a VERY good thing!

====

Now, you COULD take drugs for hypertension and deal with all the horrendous side effects.

Like:

# Constipation
# Dehydration
# Dizziness, light-headedness or fainting
# Drowsiness
# Dry mouth
# Frequent urination at night
# Headaches
# Increased sensitivity to cold
# Increased sensitivity to sunlight
# Potassium loss
# Tender, swollen or bleeding gums
# Upset stomach
# And for you guys, there's that lovely side effect of blood pressure medication...ED!

Or you could go natural...

Like following Frank Mangano's advice in "The Blood Pressure Miracle" and by taking a medical-grade probiotic.

Probiotics have shown to provide great support for helping to normalize blood pressure.

Helping to minimize your risk of high blood pressure (and resulting cardiovascular disease) is a great reason for taking a multi-strain probiotic like Super Shield daily.

One of Super Shield's medical-grade strains of bacteria, Lactobacillus Acidophilus DDS-1, is a great weapon for fighting cholesterol -- it's one of the cholesterol-eating bacteria that I described above.

In addition, Super Shield's Lactobacillus rhamnosus and Lactobacillus bulgaricus are also known for helping to reduce and control cholesterol levels.

In fact, ALL of Super Shield's 13 strains of research grade bacteria can help to strengthen your immune system (including your regulatory T cells) and encourage it to act appropriately -- not overzealously -- when it comes to infection or artery damage.

If you have hypertension (or even "pre-hypertension"), it's time to address this common yet little-known cause -- inflammation.

Now, don't wonder why you haven't heard this from your doctor. Very few doctors every receive training in natural solutions, and sadly, some are just as happy to treat you with prescription drugs and send you on your way. It pays a whole lot better than telling their patients to take inexpensive supplements for which they make no money.

But now you know better. There is more to the picture than just blindly taking your medicine. A LOT more.

Naturally stop the inflammation in your arteries and you'll GREATLY reduce your risk of high blood pressure and heart disease.

Oh, and beef up your immune system and improve your digestion while you're at it!

Let Super Shield probiotic formula help those BP readings come down for you:

To your health,

PPS: Sylvia's blood pressure came down after just 1 month of Super Shield:

*******************

Hi Sherry,

I waited to share this with you as I have been on Super Shield probiotic formula for only one month now. But already I am seeing changes in my health.

My blood pressure is lower, I have more energy, and I am sleeping well. Overall I just feel better than I have in years, both physically and emotionally.

Thank you so much Sherry for sharing with all of us your story and for making these products available. I told a friend about you yesterday and he emailed me today saying he just ordered Super Shield for himself.

Sylvia

Has Obama ordered violence on veterans?

Has Obama ordered violence on veterans?

By Captain Eric H. May
Intelligence Editor
The Lone Star Iconoclast

HOUSTON, 2/20/11 -- These are tough times for Ray McGovern and me, two former Army intelligence officers who have seen better days:

  • In 2003 we were war critics with credentials.
  • In 2004 we signed the 9/11 Truth Statement.
  • In 2005 we were part of Camp Casey.


Here's how government goons handled 71-year-old Ray last week: Ex-CIA Analyst Ray McGovern Beaten, Arrested for Silent Protest at Clinton Speech, http://www.democracynow.org/2011/2/18/ex_cia_analyst_ray_mcgovern_beaten

Despite our connections we weren't acquainted, but I always respected his courage and candor. I wish him a speedy recovery, and hope that he will smile with me at the zany Zionist claim that we once controlled Cindy Sheehan:

With Eric May hanging around in the early days, and Ray McGovern sliming himself all over her later on, it’s clear that people with an agenda to steer her toward the blame Israel meme attached themselves to her. They were helpful, I’m sure, appearing to provide stolid, real world perspectives amid all those crazy peace activists. And people like McGovern and May assumed the authority of “insiders”. I mean, if Israel does control the U.S., surely a CIA honcho like McGovern would know about it, right?

I can't speak for Ray, but I never said a dozen words to Cindy Sheehan, respecting her heartbreak from a distance. Anyway, the Code Pink inner circle who ran Camp Casey didn't care much for my military manners, although they were charmed with my dog, Dexter -- and that pretty much summed up my place in the order of things.

For my part, on January 29 I was assaulted by staffers at the VA hospital in Houston. Administrators subsequently cut my access to the Internet, my veteran advocate, and the hospital police. Three days after the assault I went into a state of oxygen desaturation, lost consciousness, and almost died.

The senior respiratory therapist who saved me exclaimed to surrounding staff that the eight ounces of bloody phlegm she had extracted from my lungs was the most she had ever seen. She also said that she would like to report whoever was responsible for my close call.

One week after the assault, the police finally met my attorney and me, and their first question was why it had taken me so long to call them. After an hour of discussion with us, and some critical disclosure by informed nurses, they took a report, apologized for the hospital, and promised swift action. They have been silent for the last two weeks, however, and will not return my attorney's calls. I suspect that the VA, which muscled and muzzled me, is pressuring its police.

I shall soon present the full story to the public as The VA in 3-D. Section 3-D is where they put quadriplegic ventilator patients like me. Although I was held incommunicado, I was able to take enough notes for an eye-opening report.

USA Update: Atomic Battle at Baghdad Airport

A physician wrote:


The DU debate is totally false as long as the issue of nukes is not addressed. In the Battle of Baghdad, the deaths of 3,000 US soldiers was kept secret because they were “friendly fire” nuked, along with 20,000 Iraqi soldiers engaging them. Their story is at Ghost Troop Home, http://www.ghosttroop.net. As a medical doctor, I find that the DU sickness in veterans shows all the signs of regular alpha radiation illness.

Reply to a physician:


Doctor, I agree with both your historical and medical diagnoses. The Battle of Baghdad was pasted over with Jessica Lynch and jokes about Baghdad Bob. The nuke at Baghdad Airport was described by the commander of the Iraqi forces, General Al-Rawi, in a fourth-anniversary interview published by Al-Jazeera.

The Iconoclast had published the same analysis a few days earlier, independent of Al-Rawi and Al Jazeera. Three weeks later Congress held (CYA) hearings about misinformation in the false reports about Jessica Lynch and Pat Tillman.

I was not involved in the military at the time of the Battle of Baghdad. The best story about my efforts to end the cover-up is by W. Leon Smith in his article, Captain Courageous Witnessed: Dr. Kelly Assassinated!, http://www.lonestaricon.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=340:captain-courageous-witnessed-dr-kelly-assassinated&catid=47:the-trenchwalker-by-w-leon-smith&Itemid=83

Anti-Gun Senator Shoots Intruder

Typical 2 Faced Democrat


Date: Thursday, February 3, 2011, 2:04 PM

Anti-Gun Senator Shoots Intruder


State Senator R.C. Soles (D - NC) Long time Anti-Gun Advocate State Senator R.C. Soles, 74, shot one of two intruders at his home just outside Tabor City , N.C. about 5 p.m. Sunday, the prosecutor for the politician's home county said.


The intruder, Kyle Blackburn, was taken to a South Carolina hospital, but the injuries were not reported to be life-threatening, according to Rex Gore, district attorney for Columbus, Bladen andBrunswick counties.


The State Bureau of Investigation and Columbus County Sheriff's Department are investigating the shooting, Gore said. Soles, who was not arrested,declined to discuss the incident Sunday evening.
"I am not in a position to talk to you," Soles said by telephone. "I'm right in the middle of an investigation."

The Senator, who has made a career of being against gun ownership for the general public, didn't hesitate to defend himself with his own gun when he believed he was in immediate danger and he was the victim.

In typical hypocritical liberal fashion, the "Do as I say and not as I do" Anti-Gun Activist Lawmaker picked up his gun and took action in what apparently was a self-defense shooting. Why hypocritical you may ask? It is because his long legislative record shows that the actions that he took to protect his family, his own response to a dangerous life threatening situation, are actions that he feels ordinary citizens should not have if they were faced with an identical situation.

It has prompted some to ask if the Senator believes his life and personal safety is more valuable than yours or mine.
But, this is to be expected from those who believe they can run our lives, raise our kids, and protect our families better than we can.

Please send this to your friends, senators and congressmen! We do not need double standards in this country!
